A Paw Above Dog Training Service - Private Dog Trainer - Castaic, CA

Member since Feb 2020

Welcome to A Paw Above Dog Training! My name is Beth Harrison, I am an ABC Certified Dog Trainer with over 13 years of experience teaching privately in-home and group lessons in Santa Clarita using only positive methods. I have trained and worked with hundreds of dogs from all walks of life, including energetic puppies, obsessive-compulsive juveniles, aggressive adults, and rescue dogs suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. After becoming a certified dog trainer, I began to raise puppies for Guide Dogs of America and was the head trainer in Los Angeles for a multi-state pet dog training company. As an AKC Certified Evaluator, I can certify your dog as A.K.C. S.T.A.R. Puppies and Canine Good Citizen. My passion is early socialization. I teach an off-leash socialization class where your dog will learn from the best… other dogs! All classes are in a safe, supervised environment. Please contact and book my private dog training services on Petworks. Thank You. Have a great day!
